Polymers

Reality Tank’s Polymers project at ‘The Next Big Thing is Not a Thing’ exhibition

The Reality Tank Polymers project which has been realized in collaboration with Studio Formafantasma is now on display at Bureau Europa’s exhibition ‘The Next Big Thing is Not a Thing’ (5 March – 10 July 2016). This exhibition relates the evolving field of design to the science of anthropology. Using the gaze as a metaphor, the exhibition surveys the evolution of the design discipline and examines new fields of knowledge and critical practices. The exhibition questions the underlying myths within design, deconstructs its emerging signs, and examines how technology determines the future landscape of design.

Exhibition: 5 March – 10 July
Admission: €5, €3 students, free for museum card holders

Tableware collection

Landscape with Houses defines the ceramic and glassware collection designed by Studio Droog. By
deconstructing the image into layers, and editing them into individual
patterns, Studio Droog cleverly harnessed the signature linework of Van Gogh to
create new patterns that can be played with. 

Translucent glass plates of various sketched patterning can be stacked to
recreate the original painting; glass and ceramic tumblers don dancing strokes
and lines – as if doodled by Van Gogh himself; patterned bowls and vases make
masterpieces of your food and flowers; and tealights cast shadows of an
impressionist painter’s mark.
